Curt, you better put somebopdy else's name on the last two articles I wrote or the ususal suspects will be complaining again. How about a generic article on all the most dangerous things in diving - this would be affectively a Gilliam resume with no names attached? The truth is that discussing what is wrong or dangerous with equipment provides more information that just discussing what is right, and it is hard to do the right without the why, and then you would have a tough time getting any ads for things like bondage wings, tec bc's, or other atrocities. Maybe we could get all of the relatives of the dead together and place an ad recommending doing it right or not doing it at all, or just replay the article I wrote in the very first issue of Deeptek - that heeded would have saved a lot of lives, but then we have to be nice to assholes like Gilliam , OMS, deep air training agencies, and the rest of the strokemakers and stroke attitudes ,don't we? The good thing about the GUE magazine is that there is no such need to coddle the incompetent. It is just a matter of time before you and anyone else who thinks about it comes to the same philosophy. We are at the begining of the death season in diving. Already we have one on a wreck in NC and another Inspriation death in Holland. A good swift kick in the balls to some of the guilty out there would be the correct medicine in my opinion, not being a nice guy about it .
